let me see if I understand,

are you saying I can use

myFBInfo = AddressEntry.FreeBusy(MyStart, MyDur) ????

or am I missing reading you?


What is the common way people use the FreeBusy, do I need to do a count
in from midnight to the start time of the scheduled time? is there
another more suitable way?

"The GetFreeBusy method returns a String representing the availability of
the individual user for a period of 30 days from the start date, beginning
at midnight of the date specified."

A Recipient has an AddressEntry property. If you have an AddressEntry
already then just use that method.

You must parse the returned string, you're not going to be able to retrieve
it as you want it to be returned.

myFBInfo = myRecipient.FreeBusy(MyStart, MyDur)

The method for AddressEntry is GetFreeBusy. Use F2 to display the Object
Browser, it shows every method and property and event for every item. It's
the best resource to use to learn about what's available to you.

You must start at midnight and parse the returned string to get to your
desired starting point. You can use the arguments to the GetFreeBusy method
to set how much detail you want to get back.

Hi Ken,

it was the "Get" in front of freebusy that was throwing me off, it is
now working great.

Now just to figure out the best way to parse into the getfreebusy
return to find the range i need....

thanks for pointing me in the right direction
